gui/journal¶
The gui/journal interface makes it easy to take notes and document important details for the fortresses.
With this multi-line text editor, you can keep track of your fortress’s background story, goals, notable events, and both short-term and long-term plans.
This is particularly useful when you need to take a longer break from the game. Having detailed notes makes it much easier to resume your game after a few weekds or months, without losing track of your progress and objectives.
